Oh dear me, this is hard work. A lot of it is repetitive, and they get too bogged down in the detail of what kind of buttons are on a guy's overcoat and that sort of thing. Some of it strikes me as the kind of thing that might have inspired Dickens or Conan Doyle, but without their literary gifts this is disappointing.
